a bit like a ghost in a haunted house, if folk just ignored and politely told the cloudflarers/fashbook bots why they are ignoring, they would go away pretty fast ;p

this basic firewall has helped me heaps as a linux enjoyer, not just to polietly ignore cloudflarers and fashbookers, but also the goog-aligned, the amzoned and the microdaft, and other creepy crawlies.

setup is a bunch of bash commands

i manged to get this firewall working pretty easily but if u have any trouble, its open source, so add your tweak to get it to work on your pc. #dfca #digitalfeudalismcounteraction #firewall #linux

We made this #animation in GIMP, inspired by the firewall setup called #DFCA that helps to expose and block #digitalFeudalism in software, and the internet.

We found the original wallpaper at #Unsplash, if you are interested we should be able to dig up the original link/photographer.

Hand-made animation (webp) that shows a bunch of notifications popping-up on a mock computer screen. "Cloudflare blocked. (Caused by) Firefox ~ (according to) DFCA Antitrust Law". Then "Amazon blocked" "Google blocked (triggered by Thunderbird), "Akamai" "Oracle" triggered by Tor browser. "Microsoft", "Facebook" triggered by the user in Firefox, "Alibaba", "SpaceX" etc. The wallpaper image is a vibrantly coloured sunset with a small silhouette of a man leaping over a large rock in the center bottom just above a hand-drawn taskbar that runs along the bottom of the mock computer display.

Seems that we are fairly quickly approaching the "51% Attack" level for Top Million Domains CloudFlare'd:

+| 2023-09-11 - 2023-09-18 | 996,308 | 472,650 | 47.4% |
| 2023-09-04 - 2023-09-11 | 1,000,179 | 476,148 | 47.6% |
| 2023-08-28 - 2023-09-04 | 1,002,173 | 468,690 | 46.8% |
| 2023-08-21 - 2023-08-28 | 997,918 | 455,821 | 45.7% |

If you have anything that can be used as signage write "#BlockCloudFlareMITMAttack" or "#DigitalFeudalismCounterAction" on it now!

The Digital Feudalism Counter Action firewall (and notifier) can be setup on all good linux distros.

git.zzls.xyz/unsender/dfca

Expose CloudGlare on the last remaining #computers that you still administer. For browsers, especially #TorBrowser, there's also an add-on called 'Block CloudFlare MITM Attack' (select the 'Only change icon color' option).

ITS TOO LATE to start resisting, but resist and help others resist before its far, far, **far** too late.

Computer desktop screen with a little popup notification in the top-right. The popup has a grey 'G' icon with bold type saying "Google outbound blocked". Below that in normal type "Firefox ~ DFCA Antitrust Law".

In the interests of the times we rather awkwardly recommended the #ShopEthical website, we are following up with the this open letter.

Dear ShopEthical.Org.Au,
Your site gives Amazon an F-rating.
Why are you then hosting it on Amazon servers?

STOP WAITING FOR gutless #politicians to enforce #antitrust.

This #firewall for #linux not only blocks the likes of #Amazon, Microsoft, #Cloudflare, 'Twitter-buyer', #Google, and a few others, but also *tells you* with a little notification when it does.

IN CASE ANYONE WAS UNDER A ROCK someone has finally done it!

A #firewall setup that allows all(?) #linux users to not only block the likes of #Google, Amazon, #Cloudflare, Twitter-buyer, and more, but that also *tells you* with a slick notification when it does!

Its called '#DigitalFeudalismCounterAction' and it brings us great joy.

BigTech are atomising us in disparate realities that cage us and make it increasingly difficult to communicate with one another.

They are the #CAGEMAFIA (CloudFlare, Amazn, Goolge, TwitterBuyer, Microdoft etc).

A lot of their power comes from #BigData.

Deprive them of data. Block them with #DigitalFeudalismCounterAction only on linux, which also notifies you when an application tries to contact them!

Has anyone thought to publish a #website where all the text is #ASCIIArt except whatever #hashtags you want search engines to store and use?

The fun part would be, to view the page correctly a person would need to adjust the width of a #textbox till a sane page emerges. That is, there is no line breaks in the #ascii.

It would seem like a great way to mess with #searchEngines and importantly, #AI systems.

@Hamishcampbell
We think #humaneCoding has to be about rejecting the monopolies and empowering small operators.

We just boosted something about limiting C.A.G.E.M.A.F.I.A. if interested. Its called #DigitalFeudalismCounterAction and blocks the likes of Amazon, Cloudflare, Microsoft, Google etc. We have found it to be most beneficial.

Those who need to access a site operated by the #technoFascists can still do so using #TorBrowser.

Its really great.

Your post reminds us of an application we saw on an I2P #torrent tracker recently that blocks #dotCons such as #Google, #Amazon and the like, don't quote us, but pretty sure it was something like #DigitalFeudalismCounterAction (or #DFCA).

It also apparently has a way to tell the user which app tried 'phoning home'.

Looking forward to testing it.

Because #privacy is never given, it needs to be taken. Thus a solution like DFCA sounds about right.
